Meraki Talent is working with an independent, owner-managed corporate finance advisory that is looking to bring in an interim senior corporate finance professional to help with deal execution during a busy period.
This is a hands-on role in a small, high-quality team. The work is mainly mid-market M&A and equity fundraising, with deal sizes typically in the £40m–£m range, and some exposure to larger transactions.
The role:
You will work directly with the owners and will be expected to run deals end-to-end. This is very much an execution role, getting transactions progressed, managed, and closed. You will also be a senior presence in the team and provide day-to-day support to more junior colleagues.
Responsibilities will include:
* Leading M&A and equity fundraising transactions
* Running deal processes with minimal supervision
* Being client-facing and representing the firm confidently
* Managing advisers, investors, and counterparties
* Supporting pitches and helping win new work
* Mentoring and developing junior team members
This is not a process-heavy environment. Pace, judgement, and delivery matter more than perfection.
Background - This role will suit someone who:
* Has solid experience in M&A and equity fundraising
* Has closed deals and is a strong executor
* Is comfortable working in a lean, high-responsibility team
* Can deal directly with CEOs, founders, and investors
Any exposure to technology or AI-related work would be a bonus, as the firm continues to think about how it evolves its offering.
What's on offer:
* Real responsibility and autonomy
* Good quality, high-value transactions
* Direct access to decision-makers
* Very little bureaucracy
The role is interim to start, with the potential to become permanent. The key requirement right now is someone who can add value immediately.
